More quotes by Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
I started singing rhythmically, and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
I don't know what happened. I just exploded. I'd never sung like that before. I used to stand still and sing simple, but you can't sing like that in front of a rock band. You have to sing loud and move wild with all that in back of you. Now, I don't know how to perform any other way.
Janis Joplin
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.
Janis Joplin
I'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin
I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.
Janis Joplin
You got to get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
All any girl really wants is just love and a man. But what man can put up with a rock-n-roll star?
Janis Joplin
I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
Janis Joplin
Life is too damn short and [screwed] up to go through it silently loving someone and never telling them how you feel. [Screw] the consequences, [screw] the implications of the actions, to hell with it all... whatever happens as a result is better than the nothingness that is inevitable with silence.
Janis Joplin
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.
Janis Joplin
